Carrie's Family Tree
ID: I27197
Name: *William DE BRAOSE
Sex: M
Birth: 1261 1
Death: 1326 1
Occupation: Lord of Bramber and Gower 1
Note:
William had already taken on many of the duties of the lordship from his father when the inheritance was granted to him by the king on March 1, 1291. Their favourite residence in Gower was Oystermouth castle.
True to his father's tradition, young William had law suits that had been rumbling on for years. In 1299 the Bishop of Llandaff succeeded in a plea to the king, who ordered William to answer for his misdeeds before the court and the royal justices. In 1306 William's tenants in Gower sought justice from the king, having taken the drastic step of deserting their lands. They accused their lord of failing to protect them and their rights. His neglect and mismanagement had disgraced the marcher lordships. William was forced to issue charters of rights for the burgesses of Swansea and his tenants in Gower.
William and his first wife, known only from surviving records as Agnes, had a son William. This son, the de Braose heir, died in 1320.
William married his second wife, the heiress Elizabeth de Sully, in 1317 but she remained childless. William's oldest daughter Joan married James de Bohun of Midhurst in about 1295, but she too died before her father in 1323.
William died in 1326, ironically the year the Despensers were executed. The king was deposed the following January. Alina married Richard de Peshale, whom she met when they were prisoners together in the Tower, and together they held Gower until her death in 1331. Bramber passed to her son John de Mowbray.
